Plate arrangement

Wlien an electrical coimection is made between two metal surfaces, a contact potential difference arises from the transfer of electrons from the metal of lower work function to the second metal until their Femii levels line up. The difference in contact potential between the two metals is just equal to the difference in their respective work fiinctions. In the absence of an applied emf, there is electric field between two parallel metal plates arranged as a capacitor. If a potential is applied, the field can be eliminated and at this point tire potential equals the contact potential difference of tlie two metal plates. If one plate of known work fiinction is used as a reference electrode, the work function of the second plate can be detennined by measuring tliis applied potential between the plates [ ]. One can detemiine the zero-electric-field condition between the two parallel plates by measuring directly the tendency for charge to flow through the external circuit. This is called the static capacitor method [59]. 

Because the plates are made of thin pressed metal, materials resistant to corrosive attack can be easily selected. Plates are standard and mass-produced,. Specific applications are dealt with by changing plate arrangements. Stainless steels, monel, titanium, aluminum bronze, and other exotic metals... 

Repeated chromatography in a third dimension after completion of two-dimensional development. Here, development in the first, second, and third dimensions can be envisaged as occurring on three plates arranged in the form of a cube the plate is again dried between developments.

In order to obtain an impression as to the usefulness of eqs. (1.6), (2.11) and (2.20), measurements have, amongst others, been carried out on polymer melts. These materials seem particularly suitable for the determination of shear recovery, as the problems arising in connection with the inertia of parts of the apparatus become much less important than with polymer solutions of low and intermediate concentrations, on which previous measurements have been carried out. In fact, the viscosity of polymer melts is, in general, very much higher than that of the mentioned solutions. At this Institute, Den Otter (26) carried out shear recovery measurements on polymer melts with the aid of a simple cone-and-plate arrangement. 

Another frequently employed viscometer of this type involves the cone and plate arrangement shown in Fig. 6.38. If T is the torque required to maintain the plate of radius r in a stationary position, then, for Newtonian liquids 51 ... 

The method of propelling flyer plates by donor expls is illustrated in Fig 9 (Ref 55). The system shown uses a two-stage flyer plate arrangement to obtain low impact velocities... 

In the cone and plate rheometer, a cone-shaped bob is placed against a flat plate so that the fluid to be studied may be placed into the gap between the lower face of the cone and the upper face of the plate. Again, in the Searle method, the cone is rotated while in the Couette method the plate turns. In each case, the torque on the cone is measured. Figure 6.5 shows a Searle-type cone and plate arrangement. For this arrangement the shear stress is given by ... 

Current commercial plasma-enhanced CVD reactors operate with only two physical concepts. In one case, we have the inductively-excited discharge in a tube, which is used for plasma ashing of resist. The other is the parallel plate arrangement using high-frequency RF power to create a low-pressure glow discharge, where the wafers to be coated sit on one of the electrodes. 

Double plate electrodes are more advantageous in this respect (see Fig. 63). They are assembled of two plates arranged parallel and reinforced by means of ribs the tops of which are connected to a common current conductor.
